Flanders Darts Trophy 2025: Results, Field, Schedule, Draw, and Predictions
PDCSunday, 31 August 2025 at 22:59
The Flanders Darts Trophy is due to take place between August 29-31 which is the 10th of 14th events on the European Tour this season. The tournament will take place at the Antwerp Expo in Antwerp.
It will feature a field of 48 players and £175,000 in prize money. £30,000 goes to the winner. Dave Chisnall is the defending champion having defeated Ricardo Pietreczko last year 8-6 in the 2024 final. That was the debut for the event. Last time out the Belgian Darts Open in Wieze meant it was the first year that two events had taken place in Belgium on one European Tour cycle.
Luke Littler makes his long awaited return to European Tour action after many months out and not playing in Germany in particular. He is joined in a stacked field by Luke Humphries, Gerwyn Price and Michael van Gerwen.

Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for DartsNews.com sees a differing outcome to most and that is one that chimes with the European Tour.
Seem to do this every prediction time but I see Martin Schindler turning up with another European Tour. Either him or Josh Rock firing their way to victory.
Despite not being in Germany, Schindler has become the European Tour king and it is hard to ignore him. It's either early exit or late run so I'm going for the latter. Gerwyn Price I also see as being capable while I'm also intrigued as to the current form of Michael van Gerwen.
Barely seen for most of this summer, a resurgence wouldn't shock me. Luke Littler as will become apparent though is the underlying favourite.
Favourites:
*** Martin Schindler
** Josh Rock, Luke Littler
* Michael van Gerwen, Gerwyn Price, Luke Humphries
Mats Leering, Editor for DartsNieuws.com sees Luke Littler as the likely champion.
A very strong field of participants, with top names among both the seeded players and the Pro Tour Qualifiers. Still, I would say Luke Littler is the top favourite. He seems unstoppable at the moment, winning one title after another.
But if I had to name a few players who are currently capable of stopping him, they would mainly be Gerwyn Price, who has a good record against 'The Nuke', and Josh Rock, who is playing very strongly at the moment.
Older players such as James Wade and Gary Anderson are also names to watch out for. If they have a good weekend, they are still capable of giving any top player a run for their money.
I am also keeping a close eye on Belgian/Dutch players such as Mike De Decker, Wessel Nijman and Gian van Veen. De Decker has been throwing well lately and may get that extra boost from the crowd in his home country. Van Veen and Nijman are two great talents and it is only a matter of time before one of them wins their first Euro Tour title, and maybe that will happen this weekend in Antwerp. In addition, Dirk van Duijvenbode could also pull off a surprise.
Favourites:
***Luke Littler
**Gerwyn Price, Josh Rock
*Gian van Veen, Gary Anderson, Mike De Decker
Kieran Wood, Editor for DartsNews.com also picks Littler for the title. The field in Antwerp is very strong, with top seeds and Pro Tour qualifiers all capable of making a deep run. At the moment, Luke Littler looks unstoppable. He’s in fantastic form, and if he keeps up his scoring and rhythm, he will be very difficult to stop.
Luke Humphries, the number one seed, could normally be the biggest challenger, but he hasn’t been at his best recently, which might give Littler a clearer path through the draw. Michael van Gerwen is always a threat—he can beat anyone on his day—but his form has been inconsistent, so it’s hard to predict how far he’ll go.
Among the qualifiers, Josh Rock is throwing very strongly and could easily cause an upset. Gerwyn Price is another player who can turn up in the big moments and make life difficult for anyone. James Wade and Gary Anderson are also worth keeping an eye on; even if they’re not at their peak, they can still give top players a real test over a weekend.

- Sophie v Paige warranted a final and deserved a longer format, despite the completely shambolic start to the match regarding the scoring which I think unnerved both players, it was an excellent game. Both are outstanding players with great futures in darts. It was a shame such talented players had to meet so early and that Paige is out, she is brilliant and blitzed Sophie in that first set. Fantastic comeback from Sophie, so calm and nonchalant, survived a real scare but hope she becomes World Champion.richieburnettrocks04-12-2025

- Oh fudge off. Who the hell decided Mardull was preferred choice. Just look as its idiotic face. What a talentless waste of space What a travesty when you compare what ITV had. He comes across as a jokey person but it's a class A piece of sheet, miserable as hell and completely full of himself. I don't know anyone who can say anything positive about this goof. Hopefully he'll meet Chris Mason in a dark alley. It really is paving over paradise.richieburnettrocks26-11-2025
- Needs to get the dart tip up when he pulls the dart back and his game will come back.BandB25-11-2025
- Absolutely disgraceful, really I've said many times that ITV coverage is superior to SKY and SKY know that. Jacqui was absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Emma from SKY is more interested in what to wear than learning about darts. Chris Mason is absolutely the best and greatest commentator on TV, even better than Alex Jacques on F1 and Alex is absolutely brilliant. It is criminal that Chris and Alan will probably never be on TV again, what an amazing waste of talent. Poor Ned, who is just as excellent and knowledgeable on darts as the Tour de France has lost both gigs this year. The whole ITV team from presentation, commentary, production the whole team will definitely be missed and I have enjoyed every minute of their coverage. Thank you so much. John Part is the ONLY decent and knowledgeable person on SKY. I liked Glenn Durrant the player but he is awkward and dreadful on commentary all the rest are utterly useless.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025
- Gurney is off form and will completely crack and have a meltdown as the crowd will be relentless, although I think Beau will beat him anyway. I also think Fallon will beat the Helium voiced Chisnall. Poor Gemma has a toughie Peter Wright is also completely off the boil but will probably squeeze past Lisa. Ian White v Mervyn King is an old school classic.richieburnettrocks24-11-2025

- Hate the idea. Darts is loud and exciting without this gimmick format. Golf needs it because it's otherwise boring. Sorry but same applies for royale rumble style knock out.BandB19-11-2025
